Enhancing evidence-based chiropractic practice: bridging the knowledge-to-action gap for the needs of community-based chiropractors.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize key factors of knowledge translation (KT) and offer actionable recommendations to improve uptake and application of evidence-based practice (EBP) in chiropractic care. Methods: We conducted a narrative review searching for KT literature in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus from January 2016 to August 2024. Titles and abstracts were screened for eligibility and relevant articles underwent full-text review. We used an expert consensus approach to form our recommendations. Results: We identified KT barriers and facilitators at individual, collegial, and organizational levels. Recommendations include advocating for individual clinicians to pursue continuous education and mentorship, and for professional organizations to support KT funding and foster supportive and collaborative environments for individual clinicians to engage in KT. Conclusions: To bridge the knowledge-to-action (KTA) gap in the chiropractic profession, chiropractors should engage in learning environments to develop necessary EBP skills, while associations should focus on supporting and incentivizing chiropractors to enhance their KT abilities. Author’s Note: This paper is one of seven in a series exploring contemporary perspectives on the application of the evidence-based framework in chiropractic care. The Evidence Based Chiropractic Care (EBCC) initiative aims to support chiropractors in their delivery of optimal patient-centred care. We encourage readers to review all papers in the series.
